The loss of Jiri Cizek
Member of the Honorary Board, Professor Jiri Cizek, passed away
on Christmas Eve, 24 December, 2024. He was 86.
An obituary can be read on the webpage of the University of Waterloo, Canada,
where he was professor emeritus, see
here .
An interesting and detailed analysis entitled
'The life and work of Jiri Cizek' was written by Prof. Ajit Thakkar
ten years ago (AIP Conf. Proc., 1642, 138–149, 2015). The paper contains
touching photos, a short CV, and a comprehensive list of scientific papers
of Cizek till 2010. It can be downloaded from
Researchgate .
Jiri was a great scientist, contributing fundamental results to quantum
chemistry, like coupled cluster theory or resummation of divergent
perturbation series. Besides, he was an exceptional human being, and a true
friend of many of us. He supported our Society, was a highly active
participant of several triennial ISTCP conferences.
We shall miss him very much.
